Let's Get Spiritual

Today, I was driving Luke and his friend Liam home. I was so proud to overhear their conversation.

Luke: Let's buckle in on each side of the car, you on the left, me on the right. And in the middle, let's buckle in Jesus.

Liam: Yes, God will sit there. He is invisible.

Luke: I know, but He is with you wherever you go.

(At this point I am feeling quite proud. All those prayers, all that careful teaching. It is finally paying off. He's getting it!)

The conversation continues

Liam: Jesus is right beside us.

Luke: He loves us.

Liam: He can see anything you do.

Luke: He has a lot of eyes. 22 of them.

Liam: Yeah, you're right.

Luke: Hey, Liam, (long pause) wouldn't it be cool if God is an ALIEN?

Both boys laugh hysterically and punch each other.

I wince and determine I will do more spiritual teaching.
